Seems like a winner...
However before I try this recipe I need to know if dark sesame oil is the same as toasted sesame oil which has a very strong flavor. If so, 2 tsp. seems a bit much. I'll be back with a real review after we actually try this :)

loved it
We really liked this! We tried diff. sauces on some of the wraps like plum sauce in place of the hoisin. Yummy

Loved it!
This was a great recipe-everyone in my house loved them. The only thing I did differently, was I cooked the cabbage a bit, because my kids don't like raw cabbage. Yummy!

Not a Big Hit
I made these wraps for my boyfriend and I and we were pretty unimpressed. I didn't like the hoisin sauce and thought the whole combination was awkward and unappetizing. Maybe you need to be a dedicated Asian-food lover to enjoy these, because I definitely didn't.

Peking Chicken Wraps
I made the wraps last night. I already had the chicken that I barbecued the night before so off to the market and $18 later I had everything I know needed. I was feeding 2 people and it made 7-8 sandwiches so I find the price is right. The only thing I would change is to warm up the snow peas, carrots and cabbage along with the wrap. Salt content a little high, calories perfect and so good for you. Even great as a snack with the vege amount in it. Skip the hoisen sauce and you would save a lot on the salt. I used slow cooking brown rice, healthier for you. Yummy and making it again really soon. Enjoy
